Thoughts from A Very Full Moon-ish Sort of Tuesday Evening...

Meghan and I stood side-by-side in the red kitchen which is tucked inside the house on Dawson Avenue where I have spent many an hour...birthday parties, youth group girls-only sleepovers, babysitting, girl time with Ging, Gidget-sitting, etc....and so many more wonderful times...We gazed at the fullness of the moon and contemplated life and how God sometimes directs us down different paths...I, Angie Good, finally got it!!!  Yes - they are moving 2,000+ miles away (which might as well be half-way around the world)...but at the same time...they will all be tucked inside of my heart and I will carry them wherever I go.  For those you who have been praying for me -- I am thankful beyond words!!!  Thank you for caring enough about the girl with curly hair.  Thank you for letting me be sad about this and thank you most of all for taking the time to remember me and bring me before our Heavenly Father. 

Isn't it amazing that the Lord would use a full moon and a sweet conversation with a delightful 6th grader to impress this on my heart...  He's amazing and if we look for His blessings -- if we really open our eyes to His blessings -- we will see that they are all around us.


I will remember the World's Best Boss when I hear someone say, "You've got to be kidding me!"


My thoughts will turn to my best friend Ginger when I venture to Ladies Retreat at Camp Joy and when I paint my nails Meet Me on The Star Ferry.


I will remember Samantha when I see something sweet, girly and fru-fru!


Meghan's sweet kind face will cross my mind when I see a full moon or a butterfly dancing along on the breeze.


I will think of Seth when I watch Star Wars or when I think about aliens invading Rockford.


Elaina will flit through my thoughts when I see a horse prancing happily in the pasture.


They are moving...but they will always be a part of my life.  I'm soo thankful that the Lord impressed this on my heart...  I know I will cry when we say our "goodbyes" -- but it will be a little less painful knowing that I will carry them in my heart.
